UST COLLECTION HOOK-UP KIT
D
This dust collection kit allows two woodworking machines to be connected to a dust collector within close proximity.
This kit includes: 2 – 10' sections of 4" Flex-hose, 2 – 4" Blast Gates, 1 – Table Dust Hood, 1 – Universal Dust Hood, 1 – 4" Y
Fitting and 10 – Hose Clamps. If your dust collector inlet port is larger than 4", you will need to reduce to 4". Refer to the
heating and cooling section at your local hardware store for reducers.
Hood Set Up:
1. Attach the Table Saw Hood and Universal Hood over your woodworking machine dust ports with either double sided
carpet tape, foam mounting tape, or sheet metal screws. If using screws, pre-drill 4 screw holes in each hood
flange. If your woodworking machine does not have a dust port, it will be necessary to make a modification.
One type of modification requires an intermediate mounting adapter to decrease the dust port opening. The need for an
intermediate adapter is necessary for open frame contractor type table saws and whenever an opening must be reduced to
accommodate the Universal Hood. The intermediate adapter can be either a piece of thin plywood or sheet metal
with a hole cutout. The cutout should be sized smaller than the hood flange so that the hood will surface mount
to the adapter.
A second modification type may require cutting a dust port hole in an enclosed stand where non exists. If cutting a
hole, locate it near the bottom of the compartment and away from the operator’s normal position. Surface mount
the Universal Hood over the hole with double sided carpet tape, foam mounting tape or screws.

Grounding:
2. It is important to properly ground your system against the risk of spark caused by static electricity. Since
plastic is an insulator, the movement of dry dust contacting the walls of the flex-hose will produce a static
charge. This charge may build and eventually arc to the nearest ground. The resulting spark may cause a fire
or explosion. To protect against static electric build-up, we strongly recommend the installation of an inter
nal bare copper grounding wire. Fish the wire through the flex-hose and connect one end to the frame of your
dust collector, making sure that metal to metal contact is made. Connect the other end to the frame of your
woodworking machine. Connect a lateral ground wire at the Y fitting. You may loop the wire around the outside
of the blast gates. Finally, ensure that your dust collector and woodworking machines are electrically grounded so
that your machine frames provide a continuous ground for static electricity.

Hose & Blast Gate Assembly:
3. Cut a 2' section of flex-hose from a 10' hose piece, place a loosened wire hose clamp around one end and slide the
flex-hose over the dust collector inlet port. If the dust collector port is not 4", it will be necessary to provide a
reducer of the correct size to make the connection. Tighten the hose clamp with a screw driver to secure the flexhose to the dust collector.
4. Place the second wire hose clamp around the free end of the short section of flex-hose and slide the hose over the
single leg portion of Y fitting. Secure the wire clamp with a screw driver.
5. Cut two – 1' sections of flex-hose from the other 10' piece and secure each piece to the Y fitting with hose
clamps.
6. Secure the two blast gates to the short sections of flex-hose with two hose clamps.
7. Secure the two long sections of flex-hose to the two blast gates with two hose clamps.
8. Secure the free ends of both flex-hose sections to the table saw
hood and universal hood that are attached to your woodworking
machines. Fasten with two hose clamps.
9. Now, assuming that all safety precautions are
observed, you are now ready to collect the dust pro
duced by your woodworking machines. To control
-
airflow, open the blast gate that is connected to the machine
branch that you intend to use and close the other blast gate.
